Girls in STEM
Research shows that children begin to aspire to careers early in primary school and are influenced by teachers and their families. It is therefore important we work together to engage the future generation of women in STEM. To assist, STEM Women has built a collection of existing programs and strategies targeted to inspire and encourage girls in STEM.
This collection aligns with Opportunity 5 Education: strong beginnings, in the Women in STEM Decadal Plan. Learn more about the decadal plan.
